Abstract
The invention relates to a method for aligning tracks of a roadwork machine, characterized by using a track alignment detection unit that is attached to a first track unit for allowing detection of an orientation of the first track unit, and frame orientation detection means that are attached to the machine frame for allowing detection of an orientation of the machine frame, the method comprising determining an initial orientation of the machine frame, and determining an initial orientation of the first track unit, determining whether a difference between a most recently determined orientation of the machine frame and a most recently determined orientation of the first track unit is within a predefined threshold value, initializing a pivoting of the first track unit, determining a changed orientation of the first track unit after the pivoting, and determining an orientation of the machine frame after the pivoting.
